The Classic BeadRider (CBR) is the original beaded seat specifically designed for motorcycles. The wooden beads provide the movement and airflow that allows riders to stay comfortable in the saddle for mile after mile. We have sold tens of thousands of these seats to riders all around the world. The CBR is available in different sizes to fit just about any bike on the market. And as Henry Ford said, you can have any color you want, as long as you want black. The Classic BeadRider seat comes standard with marine quality straps to attach to the saddle.

Great for warm weather riding, circulates air down there...
Works great, especially of your bike is a "butt roaster" like mine with engine heat radiating into the seat. The beads provide air circulation "down there" and really help with the dreaded "monkey butt" syndrome. I also like how they basically act as ball bearings and allow me to easily shift and move around in the seat. I have a pretty skinny butt and do not find the beads to be uncomfortable at all.These do not perform miracles of course, but they do help quite a bit, in my case and with my bike ('06 FZ1) especially in warmer weather.

I can't believe it works!
I just completed from my first solo cross-country ride where I rode for over 16 hours straight to my destination and 16 hours straight on the way back a few days later. I can honestly say that without this seat cover I couldn't have done it. By combining the bead rider with a pair of moto-skivee cruiser compression shorts I've been able to extend my comfortable riding time from just a few hours to nearly all day! I found as long as I stretched out during fuel stops (every 140 miles) I could ride continuously with minimal discomfort between stops. My biggest surprise was that there wasn't even a hint of soreness the following day. I'm no longer a skeptic and see more rides in my future!

A must have for long distance riding.
Without a doubt this makes a distance in long distance comfort. It doesn't immediately feel more comfortable but I noticed on my 400 mile day trip that I never had any feeling of cramped knees that I typically get with my legs being bent on the motorcycle on trips. The one dislike is the seat is quite slippery. It would be nice if they gave an option of rubber coated beads. I may try spraying mine with some Plastidip and see if that helps.

No more swamp-@$$!!!
This fits well and when under tension I have no problems with it shifting around. It keeps my bottoms cool (or at least not soaked when it's 100+ degrees out) and I can hardly tell it is there half the time.If you are looking for a solution to wet trousers in the heat, try this. It worked for me and I was a skeptic on the idea... wooden beads? A comforting purchase.

Better than a bare seat, but parts could use improvement
The Bead Rider Seat did an admiral job in providing seat comfort, however, my butt still got sore spots after several hours of riding nonstop. Worse, one of the plastic elastic band locks immediately broke as soon as I stalled it on the seat. I managed to just tie a knot to make it hold.

I Should Have Bought One Sooner
I'm surprised how much I like it. It fits my Sargent Vstrom seat perfectly, blends in and is doesn't move around at all. You don't feel any negative aspect of the beads, but they really help in the hot, sticky southeast summer. You get air flow under your butt, plus the beads keep you constantly shifting around ever so little. Very satisfied.

Fits nicely and helps with comfort during longer rides

Kill Monkey Butt!
Used on a 4 day,1280 mile ride (with a folded towel beneath it) that made me a believer. Soon as the Monkey Butt began to show: all I had to do was shift around a little to get relief. This was on a stock Dyna Super Glide seat! Can't imagine going on another long haul without it.
